Famous quotes containing the word century:

    “Child,
    why do you waste your time
    on childish things alone?”
    “Clothe yourself in anger.”
    “Take courage,
    and cast off this honesty
    toward your lover.”
    When her girlfriends
    gave her such advice,
    she answered,
    her face frightened,
    “Speak softly.
    The lord of my breath
    is still in my heart.
    No doubt he’ll hear you.”
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
